Foods That Fight Belly Fat

I have decided to do this post because I keep hearing about people who are nutritional drop outs. They still don’t know the difference between good and bad fats and they still have a whole lot of bad ass fat on their stomach.

I have posted before about a couple of rules that can help you when picking foods at the supermarket, grocers, where ever you go. I’ll post them again because they probably got lost under all the other stuff I was talking about.

When shopping – Try to buy foods with just 1 ingredient.

This might sound like Mission: Boring and Impossible, however it can be anything but. When I first did this I thought I would be limited to fruit and veg, but there are a whole lot more choices than that. It kicks the right side of your brain into overdrive and forces it to do a little more labor than it is used to. When you only have limited parameters you have to think outside the square about what you can have with what. Use it to your advantage, don’t get depressed about it, emo kid.

When shopping – Always aim to buy things that will go off within a few weeks.

I am not some evil anti capitalist who is trying to bring about further economic crippling, but as weird as it sounds, it is true. Let me ask you something…

How long does a McDonalds burger last? How about a bottle of soda? Canned goods? White flour?

All these things are so full of crap and so intrinsically crap that you have to wonder – do the manufacturers feel bad about all the people they are helping to become overweight bowling balls?

This is the reason that I tell you to buy things that go off. Now most things that go off are good for you – things like fruit, vegetables, meat, fish, dairy, eggs. But some things like seeds, nuts, protein powder and a few other things don’t tend to go off as easily. These are just guidelines.

Apply common sense and some rationality and you have the ingredients for a good list of fun times at the market!

Until next time look good, feel good and live like you mean it!
